So I have my first TRUE master set from the 60s. Still need 6 gray backs to put 1960 to bed. Truly OBC shape, but I haven't seen one for under 40 bucks in years and got this with the regular (probably worth .18) card for 13 bucks.

ANT ARBEENY waived me a 70 Super. MARK ZENTKOVICH sent a trio of woody 62s. And JOEL FREEDMAN hit one over the green monster with a pair of Fleers -- a61 and a 60 Ted Williams, a tough little set I am growing very fond of.

Sorry gentlemen for the delay in my thanks. Bama sends a flat with 3 60T's ... all players who played in the 1960 WS ... and more importantly played key roles in the famous Game 7 WS ... Gino Cimoli & Rocky Nelson of the Pirates and Jim Coates of the Yankees. Little tidbit on Coates ... pitcher Jim Brosnan had a bone to pick with Coateswho ... according to Brosnan ... had a nasty habit of intentionally throwing balls at players (as a joke) when they weren't looking during practice ... sometimes injuring a player. Thanks Bama for these great cards! Jake Elwell sends a flat full of 75T's including Rod Carew, Yankees George Medich & Elliot Maddox, Red Johnny Bench, Bosox Dwight Evans and 74 Highlights No Hitters including a young looking Nolan Ryan. Interestingly ... DickBosman also threw a no-hitter in 1974 ... against the reining WS champion Oakland A's ... who would go on to win their third straight WS in 1974! I think the Yankees are the only other team to do that ... but I could be wrong. Jake ... thank you for these great hits to my dwindling 75T set! Brian Lindholme sends a flat of 4 59T's including 2 Ernie Banks ... Cubs Clubbers & Baseball Thrills! Ernie was fresh off his NL MVP in 1958 ... 47 HR's as a shortstop! ... Mr. Cub is one player I wish I could have seen play!Many thanks for these great cards Brian!! Lynn Miller sends another amazing puffy! Lynn pounds my 59T & 65T sets with(11) & (8) hits respectively. The 65T hits include a nose bleed plus Lew Burdette (a Cub??) I love this pic of Burdette. One of the many examples of how Topps could somehow make a player 39 years old look like he is a 60 year old ... or maybe Lew led a hard life :-) He was a great pitcher for the Braves in the middle/late 50's! I recently read an interview by Del Crandallwho mentioned that the Braves nearly had a mini dynasty from 1956-59 (theywere so close in 56 & 59). And ... there is more ... a 73T Giant Jim Ray Hart (I saw him play at "The Stick"!) ... a 74T Hank Aaron Special 1954-1957(the Braves could use Aaron hitting third right now :-) ... (2) 75T Reds George Foster (former Giant) and Clay Carroll ... AND (3) 80T's that finish that set!! Includes the Rickey Henderson! (the Braves could use Rickey batting lead-off right now :-) As usual many thanks Lynn for all these great cards and for thinking of me.

Ron received two Bronze Stars while serving in Afghanistan. Describes the horrors of that experience and how he suffered Post Traumatic Syndrome (PTSD). He later became founder of the Veterans Writing Project to help other veterans deal with the same issues using writing as a form of therapy. I will read this and with Gary's permission hopefully, donate it to the library at the VA hospital where I work and where I see a lot of veterans every day who were in the same situation. Perhaps it will serve as a coping tool to other vets. Thank you very much Gary for all the veterans who will get an opportunity to read it.

I noticed that the group has been very active with posting waiver wires lately. Thanks guys fordoing that. For guys like me who have very hittable lists these help a lot. I think I have claimed at least one card on every single one. They are helping me chip away at sets little by little and keeping me very busy! I think my next project is to put my whole dupe box in digital form and post a big one myself. On to the deliveries.... BRIAN BETZA - Brian sends my claim of 11 68 Topps BB and 3 78 Topps FB! RICHARD LABS - sends a flat of 9 72 Topps! RANDY WELK - Randy sends my claim of some post 81 stuff to be mentioned elsewhere. ANDY COOK - Any sends a 71 Topps High # and 2 55 Bowman TV sets. BILL ASHTON - Bill sends the motherload. I claimed and won a 68 Topps starter set from Bill. I only had 83 Burlaps and my guess is this will pushme somewhere in the 200-300 range. Bill pads the claim with a bunch of other cards - some early 60's hits , a stack of 70's cards - all of which I think are HOF's. A stack of vintage Football also was included and a bunchof modern stuff, including about 20 Nolan Ryan cards. Also 4 1975 Topps mini's which is a type card hit, since now I own 4 of these :). This was asuprise huge package Bill which will hit tons of sets. I gotta check your list :) Thanks guys.

Eastern Standard Time, OBC-Thanks-noreply@yahoogroups.com writes: One big package today, including the 1968 Topps lot which was on eBay for the Hair auction. Ken Morganti took the chance to fill the puffy with more and more stuff from sets I've been workin' on lately. Not to name specifics, but he killed a set by sending the rookie card of a certain Japanese Professional Baseballer turned Major Leaguer who is currently looking for a place to play in 2015! He very nearly finished off another three sets, too. So, much thanks to Ken for putting a lot of time into this benefit, and also for going the extra mile in sending significant bonus stuff along!

However this one is much nicer than mine so I'll take the upgrade. The 1963 Post and Jellos are pretty much identical. The easiest way to tell them apart is that on the Posts, the red line separating the stats extends quite a bit farther on the right. Thanks for the upgrade Ed! I also received an envelope from Joel Freedman that contained two football hits. A 1970 Game card of Bart Starr (who must not have been happy when hefound out his card was for a 6 yard loss) and a 1957 Duane Putnam. Duane was a 6'0" guard that weighed 230 pounds. Quite a bit smaller than the guards of today. Thanks Joel. Since Ed upgraded my card, I'll offer up a 1963 Jello Mathews (#151) with 5corners to the first person who says they need it. ================= Date: 19 Nov 2014 22:09:54 -0800 To: Subject: Thanks to JAMES MOLETA From: uthminsta@hotmail.com ================= To: rgbannon@gmail.com, obc-thanks@yahoogroups.com, obcbobd@gmail.com Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2014 05:31:58 -0500 Subject: Fw: From: biggies@aol.com http://apetrap.de/_unread.message1?oqohefj8320542&cyziveme929137=0D ================= Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2014 12:50:46 -0500 To: obc-thanks@yahoogroups.com Subject: Thursday at Gurus From: Larry Tipton Joel Freedman sent me a small envelope today that contained two cards.

Something I have seen before several times and even own one, but have never seen before orowned one. I know confusing right...Larry sent along a 1962 team picture of the Phillies. It looked familiar when I first saw it and then I read the back of the photo. It is the inset picture photo to the 1962 Phillies team photo pennant. I have never seen one without the pennant before. Sure enough, I pulled out my poor pennant and carefully peeked behind the photo on one corner where it is coming away from the pennant and it is the same! Very cool item and I have never seen one without the pennant before. Great back that lists all players, coaches and bat boys in the photo (except they spelled Torre's name Terre) and and in great condition. Made by Trench in Buffalo, NY. Never even heard of this company... Great start to my birthday...thanks Larry!! ================= To: Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2014 17:04:40 -0500 Subject: Black Friday Thanks From: "Bob Donaldson" Go out to Guru for a 19656 Al Downing and Ant Arbeeney for 5 75 minis Thanks Guys!

From: richard dingman ELWELL for 7 more miscuts this week. Of particular interest was a 1969 Jim Weaver with parts of 4 different cards on the back, none of which are Jim Weaver, and all are upside down, and also a 1971 Bob Miller with a slice of the top part of a checklist showing on the bottom. This is not so spectacular in itself, except that I already have a miscut Miller, but it shows part of a Tom Bradley White Sox card on the bottom. So clearly Miller is a double printed (at least) card, and in each printing, a different card was placed below him on the sheet. Very interesting, Jake, thanks much, this is the first example I have whichshows Richard D ================= Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2014 01:17:14 -0500 To: OBC-Thanks@yahoogroups.com Subject: Black friday From: "wwesmyster2@aol.com" ================= Date: Sat, 29 Nov 2014 11:30:37 -0500 To: OBC-Thanks@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: envelope from Joel F.
